I need a life

I'm been stuck home all weekend sick and you know its gotten bad when I was talking to my family's 2 doberman I'm dog-sitting.

Its also pathetic that I stole my parent's Chicago Tribune Sports section and immediately turned to the "High school sports" section to see the latest rankings. My school is pretty good in sports and is nipping at the heels of my alma mater. I love my old high school yet loathe them b/c we're always finishing second behind them. But when you work with high school athletics for hours every single day, can you blame me for caring? Even worse, I called a friend of mine who is one of the varsity football coaches for the team we are playing for Homecoming next week just to heckle him. I told him that his school has no chance in hell and just to stay home to avoid the embarrassment. Then he told me his team wants to send a keg over the night before to the team captain's place to get my kids drunk. Or he wants to start a fight at my school so my athletes will get suspended. So I told him I will "acccidently" forget to give his team water on their sidelines. Sooo sad, grown people bickering over high school football, I guess I'm not the only one that needs a life.

Also quite annoying...........the Tribune sports section has been renamed "Soxtober". As a Cubs fan, its frustrating to see the first like 4 pages dedicated to the White Sox. I guess, if the Cubs can't win, I'd like the White Sox to win......only problem being that Sox fans get on my nerves. So if they could win yet none of the fans could talk smack to Cubs fans, then I'd be happy. But no matter what, we are still Chicago's beloved Cubbies for the following reasons:

1. We sell out no matter win or lose. Die hard fans
2. We have Wrigley Field (which Sox fans say most fans are "Wrigley fans, not Cubs fans"..who gives a rat's ass)
3. Our fans are much better looking
4. I don't fear for my life when going to Wrigleyville......"The Cell" is surround by creepy, ghetto projects.
5. We have a bar every 5 feet surrounding Wrigley Field.....where the Old Style flows till wee hours in the morning. The women are easy and the men buy us beers.
6. We are America's colors.......Red, White and Blue :)
7. Watch any away Cubs game..........always lots of fans in the stands!

I could go on forever but you get the picture. Soooo, I guess go White Sox. Now if only my Green Bay Packers can get a win Monday Night against Carolina for the love of god.........

Ya, well up in Milwaukee, we find the Sox and the Cubs fans who have infested our parks over the years to both be highly obnoxious (though Sox fans are certainly the more obnoxious of the two).

I wouldn't worry too much about the Sox, though. I think the ALCS will come down to Boston and NY.

As for the Packers, well, it is starting to look like the early 70's & 80's all over again...

stuffle- I have to agree with you. We come into Miller Park and overtake the place!

I was merely agreeing with stuffle that Cubs fans were, from my experience, obnoxious

I think it is because they are from Chicago. Something about that city makes them obnoxious. We also get a lot of Twins and Cards fans making the trek to our park when one of those two teams are in town. However, the fans of those two teams are generally not on par with the obnoxious a-holes we get when there is a Chicago team in town.

yeah, well the only time your ballpark ever sells out is when the cubs come to town.

I must say though, I really do like Miller Park. I did have this dumb friend once who tried to order Bud Light.

And Back off Eddie, he's awesome!

Hey now, we also sold out the last game of this season.

Of course, the tickets were free, but we'll just ignore that minor detail... :)

If the sox win against the um, sox, I will eat my words and put Sox pics up on this blog....BUT I don't see them having any chance.

I'm not a white sox hater, I just get annoyed by the fans. I'm glad they won.

Um... Yeah... If yesterday's game is any indication (which hopefully it is not), I may have to eat my words on that one.

Still hoping for a NY / Boston match-up (far more exciting), but it wasn't looking good yesterday...

i will absolutely post sox pics all over my blog. it will pain me to do so so maybe i'll throw in a cub's one but don't get too cocky after 1 win

i think your face turned the color of the green monster when we were at Cheers!

I'll take my crow fried, thanks!

On the plus side, seeing all of the unhappy Boston fans was just precious.
